<p>A big part of Society play is the reporting sheet. If not provided by the con, make sure to have one for players and You to complete your information. Some con will also provide chronicles. If you, you will need a minimum of 6 for the players. One for you but can always take care of your chronicle later.</p>
<p>Make sure the reporting sheet is complete and all the numbers are easily read. Not everyone's writing is good. If you need, you can write and numbers not clear so the person reporting can read them.</p>
<p>Always give your reporting sheet to the con lead and wait to see if they have questions. They should take a moment to check that it is complete.</p>
<p>Finally, you are not on an island. Sont hesitate to ask questions of other GMs.</p>
